    Transfer thread

    As someone who really rated Dembele, the thing that frustrates me is the lack of appreciation how Demeble could transition the ball from first third to second third AND from second third to third third. Spurs have never found a single player that could do that since Mousa left the club. It's...

    Dejan Kulusevski

    I'm less sure about Kudus in your scenario. I think there is a player there that can play on the inside with an overlapping full-back OR stay in the wide areas. The trick is to have both in your armoury so it is harder to setup against.

    Destiny Udogie

    If he is like Richi, then we have hope. Most fans had written him off as an injury crock for a couple of seasons. Then he came back strong and was mostly available for selection each week. The concern with Destiny is the continual injury cycles. We saw with Dele that when you have multiple soft...

    Savinho

    I have a feeling Levy might still be working in the background managing the Savinho transaction :p

    Pre Season Thread

    Looks like we're already seeing Kudus and Kulu behind the pre-season schedule of the main group of players. They're not on the plane.

    It's an interesting perception. I don't really recall Poch bringing many U21's through the process to senior players. He clearly did Dele but it's perhaps more the case that we didn't have any/many others. He tried hard with Josh Onomah but I felt he was very tough on KWP, especially when Trips...

    Of course I jest but we shouldn't really be complaining if these players can't quite make the last mile to become a top 4 PL player but we still make a load of cash on them. At least we're in the lottery to find another Kane with our current approach.

    lol - we're 2 years away from making a £10m profit on him.

    Antonin Kinsky

    Gonna be interesting to see whether Kinsky can now use the Spurs shirt as a platform to become his country's no 1. Be interesting to see who RDZ would select if he had Kinsky and Kovar.

    I think the narrative about our academy shifts now. It is something like... The previous narrative was that Spurs had a very good academy but blocked the path for the youngsters when they got near the first team. They never got the chance to succeed or fail fast. Therefore younger players don't...

    Had crazily busy weekend. Catching up. So who actually made the plane to Oz? Did we have a final list?

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    You could be right. I have literally only turned the TV on to watch some matches. I've not watched build-ups, pressers etc. That job is a poison chalice anyway. No great manager would want that salary and the nonsense that goes with it. When I think what a great day of international rugby we...

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    I think the thing that we all perhaps overlook is the different phases a manager goes through. I remember Hodgson taking the baton very late in 2012 and watching the guys in Donetsk. I remember Southgate going through that big phase of playing the back 5 before he transitioned out of it. It's...

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    I think the biggest thing we learn about Messi is his ability to "move" into a space to receive the ball. I know you've been building cases for English players who can pass and have the touch but do we really have players that pass and MOVE as naturally as the Argentinians did? We couldn't mark...

    I agree about Hendo. Long term England problem. We appointed a captain who wasn't a captain, played in the wrong position to be a captain and we have relied on other players to be the leaders on the pitch for years. Hendo was always the unofficial captain for England and the players always...

    Other way for me. I think Guehi has been found out. Overrated for me and not international level. James is perhaps a victim of injuries but unless someone else comes along is surely Walker's replacement in the England side. I reckon he's incredibly tough to play against. He defends hard and he...

    I think the Falklands actually belong to the penguins.

    I should have also added that the last thing we needed was guys like Anderson sitting in alongside the centre halves as well. We needed our centre halves pushing them back out to where they should be engaging.

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    Not sure I understand your point actually. My thought process was moving to a place where if you are going to get into that back 6 sort of tactic, then you need a different profile of a striker than an ageing Harry. They need boundless energy and need to put in the big shift, It wasn't fair to...

    It's things like where he plays, If Tuchel wants him to drop deep or drift into the channels then he should. If Tuchel wants him to stay at the point of the spear then he should. Regardless of this, I do believe Kane could offer more for the receiving pass. He is more than capable of receiving...
